Ramayana is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Indian films, designed to present the iconic epic on a global scale. The film recently made history by being showcased at CinemaCon 2026, marking the first time an Indian project has featured at the prestigious platform. Actor and co producer Yash attended the event along with producer Namit Malhotra and shared key insights about the film.
During an interaction with Hollywood media, Yash revealed a crucial detail about the narrative structure. He confirmed that there are no combination scenes between his character Ravana and Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Lord Rama, in the first part.
“Ravana has his own kingdom, and Rama has his own. As you all know, it is a two part film,” Yash said. He also praised Ranbir Kapoor, calling him a fabulous actor.
This clarification suggests that the much awaited confrontation between Rama and Ravana will not take place in Part 1, which is scheduled for a Diwali 2026 release, and is likely being reserved for the second installment.
Sai Pallavi plays Sita, while the ensemble cast includes Sunny Deol, Vivek Oberoi, and Ravi Dubey in key roles. The film is backed by Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG, and co produced by Yash’s Monster Mind Creations. Music is composed by A R Rahman and Hans Zimmer, with screenplay by Shridhar Raghavan. Notably, Ramayana is also set to become the first Indian film to be shot for IMAX, signaling a major leap in scale and presentation.
